Hurricanes Trade D Tomas Kaberle For Canadiens D Jaroslav Spacek

Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford was reportedly not content with Kaberle’s play. The 33-year-old Czech Republic native has no goals, nine assists and is a minus-12 plus/minus rating this season.

Spacek has appeared in 12 games this season and has tallied three assists and holds a plus-2 plus/minus rating. Spacek, 37, is currently sidelined due to an upper-body injury, but could be available to return to play against his former team this Saturday.

Kaberle signed a three-year, $12.75 million contract this offseason. Spacek will become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
